I can tell you don't watch much women's basketball. This is actually a favorable matchup for UConn. The teams UConn have problems with is physical teams and Iowa is definitely not that. LSU losing was a fantastic outcome.
Agreed. Iowa is not a good defensive team. Before last night's game, they were 304th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 71.1 points per game. UConn is 24th. Iowa's a little better when it come to FG% defense, but still not good. They're sitting at 137th. Uconn is 9th in the country. What Iowa CAN do is score. They have the #1 scoring offense in the country. UConn is #14.
We're not likely to shut down Clark, but if we can at least limit her and keep her in the 20-25 point range, we have a shot. We're going to need the Freshmen to show up and obviously, everyone needs to stay out of foul trouble.
Personally, I never expected them to reach the Final Four considering the team has been decimated by injuries. As far as I'm concerned, we're playing with house money now.
